Sometimes Rug Blocking Is Needed to Restore a Rug's Shape

RUG BLOCKING: When a rug is misshaped or has built-in wrinkles, sizing or rug blocking may help. A rug is resized by flipping it over, making it as square and flat as possible, and securing it along the edges. With their pile sides facing down, we apply natural starch to the backs of the rugs during the stretching and shaping process. Starch helps blocked rugs maintain their newly restored shapes after coming off the board. Note that even a good quality rug is rarely perfectly rectilinear. When blocking a rug the choice is sometimes between getting it flat or making it square--from the standpoint of what's good for the rug, it is almost always better to make the rug flat than to make it perfectly rectilinear.Used with care sizing can make a rug more attractive and usable. Used incorrectly, blocking can distort or even damage a rug. Over-aggressive blocking will not remedy the problems of a poorly woven rug. Don't try this at home! Sizing or blocking is definitely a process best handled by an experienced rug repair person.

A Quality Rug Pad Helps Protect Your Rug

A rug pad can make or break the comfort and durability of your rug because it plays a critical role in your rug's performance and appearance. The main purpose of a rug pad is to protect and support your rug's durability and effectiveness. The pad keeps the underside from wearing against the bare floor. It also absorbs the impact from footsteps and furniture, lessening the both the stress on your rug as well as your joints. One study found that rugs without cushioning lose about 19 percent of their pile height from wear and tear as compared to a 5 to 10 percent loss for the same rug with a separate pad. All the pads we offer are custom-cut to fit your rug or to your exact specifications.
